Cases are reviewed to more quickly identify high rate offenders and high rate victims and provide coordinated intervention efforts towards these individuals. The Unit also handles cases in which parties have requested Protection from Abuse (PFA) orders against another party. The Domestic Violence Unit is located at One Place of the Shoals.
